Work Healthy
The Healthy Community Coalition (HCC) of Greater Franklin County would like to introduce you to Work Healthy! a free program where businesses and organizations can win an award and media recognition for having and promoting healthy worksite policies and practices.
The HCC Workplace Award recognizes businesses and organizations within Greater Franklin County that have placed a high priority promoting good health for their employees. By supporting tobacco-free lifestyle, encouraging physical activity and/or promoting healthy eating, businesses and organizations may realize the benefits of a healthier workforce including reduced absenteeism, reduced disability costs, reduced health care costs, and improved productivity.
The Healthy Community Coalition, a Healthy Maine Partnership, is using the successful Work Healthy! program developed by Healthy Androscoggin, the Healthy Maine Partnership in Androscoggin County, to promote worksite wellness.
It’s easy to do, engages staff, and has many benefits. You may already qualify if your organization has a written tobacco–free policy, offers healthy food choices, or promotes health and wellness in a variety of ways. Staff from the Healthy Community Coalition can provide sample policies and technical assistance to help you qualify for an award.
Please take the time to look over the attached brochure and apply for the award. Share your ideas and learn from others. We can all work together to improve the health of our workforce and our community.
Please contact the Healthy Community Coalition for information or questions.
